MACHINE FOUNDATIONS

– Soil assessment
– Foundation assessment
– Proposals for new machine foundation systems, with full documentation (i.e. dynamic and static analysis, general arrangement and reinforcement drawings, rebar lists)
– Construction, supervision, and startup assistance

The following established options, especially for turbinegenerator
foundations, are offered by GERB:
– Set a new spring-supported machine deck on the existing deck
– Remove the old machine deck and set a new elastically supported deck on the existing, adjusted columns (see drawing on the left).
– Remove the existing machine deck and columns, and construct a new system of slender columns and spring supported machine deck on the existing base mat.

Your Benefits:
+ More than 100 years of machine foundation design experience
+ One stop shopping for all your civil engineering needs – planning engineering, construction and startup
+ Alternative proposals to ensure the most cost effective use of plant space and construction time
